A lot has happened in the last year.

One of the more charismatic presidents of the SF society which spawned our little gathering got married. Mark and Elaine are expecting twins. [ed's note: Joel Matthew and Ethan Alexander arrived on 4th May 2001] Cal and I are celebrating our tenth anniversary.

The group settled into the pub we had moved to, after the previous establishment disgraced itself by repeatedly running out of beer. It had other problems too, but we have our limits. We were refreshed to discover that our new home sports bar staff who occasionally out-weird us.

A few of our number left (if only geographically). One of whom joind a pub SF group in his new home-town, only to discover that he had escaped the clutches of a group who go to conventions and run program items, enter masquerades and act in plays, only to join a group who actually RUN THE CONVENTION. Hehe. [waves to the Paragon committe]

We gained a few new members. Well, new-ish, anyway. Most were ex-members of the aforementioned University SF group.

OK, enough with the retrospective already. On with the silly jokes!
